Self Help - personal development, motivation ...

It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.   ~ Epictetus Had you encounter incidents that made you so worked up that you let your emotions control over you such as screaming and shouting? You probably regret the silly things that you had done in the moment of anger or felt embarrassed later on. When you are in a challenging environment (be it is school, office or even at home), how do you remain clam and have inner peace of mind?

Do you have this experience that you trusted someone, confide in this person and found out later that this same person betrayed you? He/she appeared to be your friend but had been stabbing you behind your back! You felt hurt and your self esteem is blown away - you felt like a fool to have trusted this person. What do you do next?

What do you do when you feel angry?  If you are someone who can maintain your cool, congratulations to you! Most will react by shouting, some by smashing things and the violent ones might resort to fighting or hurting others.  All these reactions might release some of the pend up anger but it often contributes more harm to yourself and others.
